A physical moment that got out of hand, and now assault in the third degree at Nassau County District Court. Here's what the charge is, how the court tends to handle it, and the step you control.
Assault in the third degree (Penal Law § 120.00) is a class A misdemeanor — New York's common “simple assault” — alleging physical injury to another. It's handled at Nassau County District Court in Hempstead and carries possible jail, fine, and a record, though many first-offense matters resolve well below the maximum through dismissal, reduction, or an ACD. The weeks-to-months runway is your opportunity.
Voluntary enrollment before you're ordered — see the proactive guide — plus no contact with the complainant and exact compliance with any order of protection is the file that resolves well. A live remote program gives your attorney a same-day letter, progress reports, and completion documentation formatted for Nassau. If an ACD is possible, documented steps strengthen it — see ACD in Nassau.
